The greatest love story of all time is now a new musical. Two-time Tony Award-nominated director Alex Timbers (Peter and the Starcatcher) joins forces with 2013 Emmy Award-nominated choreographer Sonya Tayeh (TV’s “So You Think You Can Dance”) and a cast of leading young Broadway talent to bring Shakespeare’s "Romeo and Juliet" to new musical life.

The unforgettable music of Jeff Buckley (including “Hallelujah”) will stir your soul as thrilling swordplay and stagecraft stir your pulse. "The Last Goodbye" is a breathtaking and hugely entertaining new musical!
